Gain
Gain is available for all input channels with a range of -15 and 15 dB. In addition, it is also possible to enable phantom power from the settings menu. You can access settings by clicking the gear icon next to the channel name.
Parameter Name | Parameter Range | Parameter Definition |
Gain | +/-15 dB | Input signal up to 22dBV/24dBu |
LP/HP filter (Input Filter & Output Filter)
2 bands of semi-parametric 2nd order high pass and low pass filters are available on each input channel and can be individually enabled and disabled. Frequency and Q-factor can be adjusted, and channels can be enabled individually. With cascading or combining the available filters, bandpass or 4th order high pass or low pass filters can be created.
Parameter Name | Parameter Range | Parameter Definition |
Show Table | Enable/Disable | Opens a table showing the filters that can be applied. |
Type | High Pass/Low pass | Opens a list of filters that can be selected. |
High Pass | Selection | With a High-Pass filter, the frequencies below the crossover frequency will be suppressed. |
Low Pass | Selection | With a Low-Pass filter, the frequencies above the crossover frequency will be suppressed. |
Frequency | 20Hz -20kHz | The Frequency parameter indicates the centre frequency of the filter. This is the central frequency between the upper and lower cutoff frequencies of the filter. The frequency can be set between 20Hz and 20kHz. |
Q-factor | 0.01 - 15 | The Q-factor parameter is the quality factor related to the bandwidth of the filter. A higher Q-factor indicates a more selective filter with a smaller bandwidth. The standard Q-factor value for the 7-band EQ is set to 0.9, whereby the 7 bands have good coverage over the entire audio spectrum. A higher Q-factor makes it possible to influence specific frequency ranges of the audio spectrum. |
Boost | Not Available | Boost is not available on the input filter. |
Enabled | Enable/Disable | Enables or disables the desired filter. |

Parameter Name | Parameter Range | Parameter Definition |
Preset List | Selection | Opens a list of factory and custom presets which can be imported, exported or edited in WaveDynamics TM . |
Apply Preset | Not Available | Recalls the selected preset to the output channel. |
Show Table | Enable/Disable | Opens a table showing the filters that can be applied |
Type | Selection | Opens a list of filters that can be selected |
Peaking | Selection | Peaking Filter provides a boost or a cut to a band of frequencies around a center frequency. |
Low Pass | Selection | Applies Second Order Low Pass filter. With a Low-Pass filter, the frequencies above the crossover frequency will be suppressed. |
High Pass | Selection | Applies Second Order High Pass filter. With a High-Pass filter, the frequencies below the crossover frequency will be suppressed. |
Linkwitz | Selection | Linkwitz Transform changes effective frequency and Q-factor to desired values. Typically, this is used to lower F to get more low bass output or to lower the Q to make the box behave like a larger box. |
All Pass | Selection | All-pass filter passes all frequencies equally in gain but changes the phase relationship among various frequencies. |
Low Shelf | Selection | Low Shelf filter boosts or reduces the audio level below the desired frequency rather than removing them. |
High Shelf | Selection | High Shelf filter boosts or reduces the audio level above the desired frequency rather than removing them. |
First Order Low Pass | Selection | Applies First Order Low Pass filter. With a Low-Pass filter, the frequencies above the crossover frequency will be suppressed. |
First Order High Pass | Selection | Applies First Order High Pass filter. With a High-Pass filter, the frequencies below the crossover frequency will be suppressed. |
Frequency | 20Hz -20kHz | The Frequency parameter indicates the center frequency of the filter. This is the central frequency between the upper and lower cutoff frequencies of the filter. The frequency can be set between 20Hz and 20kHz. |
Q-factor | 0.01 - 15 | The Q-factor parameter is the quality factor related to the bandwidth of the filter. A higher Q-factor indicates a more selective filter with a smaller bandwidth.
